This paper provides a summary of a dissertation recently completed by the author and its salient findings (1). Mosques and mesjids, or small neighborhood mosques (2) built in Ankara between the 12th and 15th centuries are virtually the only buildings remaining from the Seljuq, Ahi and early Ottoman periods. Aside from hans, or commercial buildings, hamams and turbes, or mausolea, these structures, distributed throughout the urban topography, represent examples of buildings from the periods in which they were built. As may be noted in historiographic accounts of early Ottoman period such as Atsiz (1992) and Nesri (1995), written documents concerning Ankara are surprisingly few, mentioning the city merely as a garrison seized or lost in well known battles. According to Akture (1987), a certain amount of documentary evidence from these early periods exist in vaqf, or foundation records which refer to this area under individual settlement names. Otherwise, the inscription panels of historic religious structures (i.e., mosques, or Camisi (3), mesjids and turbes) provide the only written information available on their dates of construction, patrons and builders.
